Matt Van Stone

I found this video of Leo Laporte on Google Videos from the show The Screen Savers on TechTV. Its a feature they did in 1998 where they built “The Ultimate Gaming Machine”, and by ultimate they mean a Pentium II 300 MHz with 128MB of SDRAM and a whopping 13.2GB of hard drive space. WOW, I am jealous. I think they were running Descent II during the clip to show off it’s wicked graphics.

Its just funny to watch, I mean if computers were like cars this would be like comparing a Corvette Z06 (today) to Fred Flinstone’s foot-powered rock-mobile (1998). Somehow, the fact that I’m a huge geek has just become very very clear.
